I'm a new Ubuntu Desktop user and looking for snapshot tool to use as alternative to Greenshot in Windows.

I found Shutter is the one. Though I want to copy the image in Shutter built-in editor to clipboard so that I can paste it quickly to my post(s) on the web.

But selecting copy on the editor menu not get me there. So how can we have snapshot image to be copied to Ubuntu clipboard?

I am not familiar with Greenshot but there are some default key combinations under Xenial Xerus LTS which should help you out. Note in particular the 3 sets of key combinations that send directly to the clipboard:

Working well here and should work well for you as well :)

I found the final answer for this

1. Make sure Shutter main window shown after taking the snapshot. You could config this in Shutter option/preference

2. Do the annotation on the image

3. Save it - you will be brought back to the main window

4. Hit Ctrl-C/Copy

5. Done - you got the snapshot in the clipboard

Found a workaround, though not directly from the editor, as steps below.

1. Open Shutter Session as the attached snapshot
2. Pick up your snapshot in the listing
3. Right click - Copy to copy it
4. Done - you got it on Ubuntu clipboard ready to paste.
